New Boston

Texarkana sounds like a theme park themed on Texas.

And raised in the nearby town of New Boston, Barbara and the girls relocated to Austin following her divorce from Michael.

Shortly after this, Barbara met Frank Sirazzi and married him in 1980.

While Barbara maintained primary custody over the children, they still maintained a close bond with Michael.

Reagan Michelle Simmons was born on November 14th 1998 in Hope, Arkansas, to parents Jessica and Brandon Simmons.

But the family later settled in New Boston, Texas, which is a town of about 4,000 people located 30 minutes west of Texarkana and the Arkansas border.

So we're going to the Texarkana area again for those of you who did or did not listen to or watch our episode on Virginia Carpenter just recently.

Yes.

And it was clear that Taylor was struggling under the pressure.

So Reagan asked her if she wanted to come over the next day, which was October 8th, so that she could help kind of put her mind at ease.

Most recently, Reagan had worked in customer service at Flying Burger in Texarkana, but she lived in the very small nearby city of New Boston, Texas with her husband and three-year-old daughter in a modest home on Austin Street.

You know, this is a really quiet residential part of town, and it was in this home that something unimaginable would happen.

Luke Walker, the Pirate 28-year-old left-hander.

He's a Texan out of New Boston, Texas.

Luke Walker, 6'2", 190 pounds.

During the campaign for the Pirates in regular season play, worked in 23 starts, 28 games overall, won 10, lost 8, and here we go now with the start of Game 4 of the 1971 World Series.

So the question is, how long will it take them to get the cleanup going on? Because once they're done, then we call the electricians at Nance and get them out there, start doing electrical rewire.

Then we talk to the HVAC guys, who we need to call today, for New Boston.

And then we get transmitters going on, too.

So we, we s- we're on step one, and I'm doing my darnedest to keep my positive, cheery, optimistic outlook right now.

I, it's, yeah, it's crazy, for sure.

Yeah.

And that's our dilemma right now with New Boston.

New Boston 105.1's been on the air for a- about a week or so, and yesterday it was off, and we drove out there and opened up the door of the transmitter site.

There's Monday Fangs in Pallantport, Wolf City, and Muleshoe.

New Boston and Miami, Waxahachie and Kerrville.

Sweetest girls I ever saw lived out in Cedar Hill.

The little towns of Texas have nestled on the plains.

Ridiculous.

But and then after that, Bucky's came in and they wanted to set up Bucky's over in New Boston, Texas, which could probably be one of the best things happening to New Boston, Texas, as far as like reviving that town, bringing in like income, bringing in jobs like Bucky surprisingly pays well for like.

You would think working at a gas station, which is what Buc-ee's is, wouldn't pay that well.

But Buc-ee's posts, like how much they pay.

Okay.

In New Boston.

All

right.

And I said, "Man, I got work I got to do." I mean, I, I'm sitting here, I don't even know what planet I'm on, but I know that they are absolutely going crazy, and I think they're hitting everybody.

There were 81 kids, uh, called out of, uh, what was it? New Boston School la- uh, earlier this week.

Which for those of you guys that don't know, New Boston Texas School is a very small school.

Like, it's...

Uh, I don't know how big Tonganoxie, Kansas is anymore, but it was about the same.
